I have finally found some time to get back to working on my jQuery plugins and implement some of the long-delayed updates. The first plugin to receive this treatment is imgZoom — I have just released a new version of it (available here and on jQuery plugins).

This latest release adds two new options: remove, which (to no surprise) removes the plugin, and group, which allows you to organize images into groups with separate prev/next navigation. It also introduces a callback function, onInit, allowing you to execute a piece of code when plugin initialization is completed.

Would you like to integrate Sass into your web application using Plack::Middleware::File::Sass, but you have difficulty getting it to work, or your application is not running on Plack?

We’re introducing the great Dancer::Plugin::Preprocess::Sass, which allows you to use Sass files in your Dancer application, and have them converted into CSS ON-THE-FLY! What’s more, the generated CSS files can then be AUTOMATICALLY saved and served as static files, saving you CPU cycles AND money!

CALL the number on your screen and ORDER YOURS TODAY FOR JUST $29.99!

CALL NOW and you’ll get 10 EXAMPLE SASS FILES that you can use in your application ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Ok, but seriously, the plugin is available on CPAN and on GitHub. And it’s not $29.99, it’s free.

I have just released a new version of Dancer::Plugin::DebugToolbar, the debugging toolbar for Dancer web applications. This version introduces a new screen which displays the templates rendered by the application and lets you inspect the data passed to them. Here’s an example of this screen:

This release also introduces a few performance improvements and fixes a couple minor bugs.

The plugin generates directory indexes for selected directories on the server, allowing the users to browse through those directories and download files. It basically does the same that Apache’s mod_autoindex and Plack::App::Directory do, but it has the advantage of being integrated into the Dancer application and not depending upon how the application is deployed.

An obligatory screenshot:

I’ve put the plugin up on GitHub, and will relase it on CPAN shortly (after I polish the code a little bit).
